Is it any good?
The C83 5G is a basic 5G phone in realme's C range, at ₹19,999 for 4GB + 64GB, ₹23,999 for 4GB + 128GB and ₹26,999 for 6GB + 128GB. It is for buyers who want 5G and a big battery and nothing fancy.
It has the Dimensity 6300, a 6.8-inch 144Hz LCD, a 7,000 mAh battery with 15W charging, a 13MP rear camera, IP64 splash resistance, a 3.5mm headphone jack and realme UI 7 on Android 16.
The catch is that the P4 Lite 5G and NARZO 100 Lite 5G have the same chip, screen size, battery, charging and cameras for ₹1,000 less at the base and ₹3,000 less with 128GB or 6GB of RAM. Nothing on the spec sheet justifies the C83's premium, and no update promise is published, so buy one of those instead.
